Call a macro from a macro

Hi all, I'd like to know if it is possible to call a macro from another macro. I have the feeling that it stops after executing the second macro...

Thanks in advance

Actually, you cannot call a macro from within a macro

. How should a macro know after it's execution it has to come back to the location from where it has been called??? A macro is not a subroutine and does not contain a return statement (I tapped also in this booby trap...) Workaround: write your second macro to a file and use the IFILE command.

Working with .inp files seems to be the good option. Thanks a lot for your quick answer !
